Sprite 750ml — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Sprite 750ml by Coca-Cola DUMP — score 20/90.
Sugar water with zero nutrition. A single 750ml bottle packs the kind of sugar load that spikes your blood sugar and does nothing good for you.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #2 ingredient — a huge fast-absorbing sugar load per bottle
- Two sweetener sources: real sugar AND acesulfame-K (960)
- Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) — zero fibre, protein, vitamins or minerals
- Sodium benzoate (211) preservative in an acidic drink
- Pure empty calories that spike blood sugar and feed cravings
Ingredients (6)
- Carbonated Water (safe) — Just water and CO2, the neutral base of the drink.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- Acidity regulators (330 citric acid, 331(i) sodium citrate) (moderate) — Citric acid gives the tart bite; both control pH. Generally safe but the acidity is hard on tooth enamel.
- Preservative (211 Sodium Benzoate) (moderate) — Synthetic preservative; can form trace benzene when combined with vitamin C in acidic drinks.
- Sweetener (960 steviol glycosides / acesulfame-K) (moderate) — An extra sweetener stacked on top of real sugar to boost sweetness cheaply. A second sweetener source is a red flag for an engineered-sweetness formula.
- Flavours (natural flavoring substances) (moderate) — The lemon-lime flavour. 'Natural' here is a loose label — it's an isolated flavour compound, not actual fruit.
